Our Year 10 leaders spent Friday at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas – four hours of testing opinions taking on philosophers from The Ethics Centre and tackling big questions about AI and the future. They practised the art of building on an argument and came away with sharper thinking and a few changed minds.

Science Week at IGS brought children from Early Learning, and students in Kindergarten to Year 3, Years 8, 10 and 11 together to explore how scientific ideas develop over time and how curiosity, questioning and investigation can lead to new discoveries and future innovations. 🔬✨

From seed investigations in the ELC to exciting Street Science demonstrations for Kindergarten to Year 3 and Year 8, students discovered how simple questions can grow into powerful discoveries. Our Year 10 and 11 Science students also stepped into the role of scientists and mentors, leading experiments with our youngest learners.

Thank you to Liz Turner Head of Science, Michelle Sullivan Head of Inclusive Learning and all the staff and students who helped make Science Week such a great celebration of science at IGS.

For more than a decade, Wear It Purple Day has been a tradition at IGS. This year's theme Colours of Courage celebrates the everyday courage of LGBTQIA+SB young people and the allies who stand beside them.

Chalk on the pavement, purple pencils and bracelets from the P&C, and a moving performance from Year 12 student Issy M, capped off with a P&C barbeque – a joyful reminder that at IGS, Unity Through Diversity is lived each and every day.

Thank you to the P&C.
